Grant Brünner: Bassguy

I think of myself as very multifaceted. I do a wide variety of things, and so I come across a lot of different people. I gravitate to people that exhibit the characteristics that I like about myself. People that are technically adept, comfortable presenting to crowds, and big music/film/video game nerds. However, I strongly reject people that represent the parts of myself that I hate. People not unlike Roseanne Barr repulse me. They are hardheaded, loud, but kind of looked up to by others.

 I don’t hate Roseanne Barr. I think she has a lot of talent, but I see the worst parts of myself in the character she played on her eponymous television show. It is like looking into a mirror. You can see all of your imperfections that other people probably don’t even notice. I find it painful to watch her do her shtick because I feel like someone is almost mocking me. I suppose that is just a neurosis of mine. 

 On a side note, I opened the Oxford English Dictionary just a second ago to make sure I had the correct spelling of “eponymous.” The odd part was that they specifically mentioned Roseanne as being a prime example. That is super weird.
